••• More on 101 Murray, a.k.a. 101 Tribeca, from Residency Invest* and via an anonymous tipster: “Developed by two of the City’s most successful and respected real estate developers, 101 TriBeCa is a world-class 63-story, 433,800 square-foot luxury residential condominium tower. The building’s 129 units will rise to a height of 950 feet and its top-floor penthouses will offer 360-degree views of New York’s most coveted neighborhood, the Triangle Below Canal Street (TriBeCa) – downtown Manhattan.” (*”We specialise in helping international investors achieve permanent residency, long term visas or Citizenship in the USA, United Kingdom, Europe and Caribbean.

Among its practical benefits, the meadow cools the duplex in the summer and insulates it during the winter.”
